We Philologists - Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Volume 8

Nietzsche's work delves into critiques of religion, morality, and contemporary culture, focusing on the life-affirming versus life-denying nature of ideas. Despite his struggles with health and mental collapse, he achieved significant academic success early, becoming the youngest Chair of Classical Philosophy at the University of Basel. Initially overlooked, his profound influence on nihilism, postmodernism, and existentialism has since solidified his status as a pivotal figure in modern philosophy.
